To celebrate International Day of Cooperatives next month, the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) is hosting a one-day conference to show how co-ops are the best tool we have for building a sustainable future.

Under the theme “Cooperatives for Sustainable Development,” more than a billion cooperators worldwide will celebrate International Day of Cooperatives on July 1, 2023—a day that has raised awareness of the cooperative business model for a century and was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1995.

The Cooperative for Sustainable Development conference will take place in-person on July 1 at 11 am CET in San Sebastián City Hall in Donostia, Spain with online broadcasts available in English, Spanish and Basque. The dynamic event will showcase co-op stories from around the world and feature six roundtables discussing how cooperatives impact the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
